Eat at the quaint restaurant or join in the real adventure under the trees where you can braai your own big juicy steaks, sosaties and wors while gazing at a stunning view of the wild countryside.
The famous Tan' Malie se Winkel sits jauntily beneath a charming tin roof and broekie-lace-edged stoep just before you hit the Hartiebeespoort tunnel.
This is one of most interesting places to visit in the Hartbeespoort dam vicinity. Tan' Malie se Winkel is a charming rendition of an old time country trading post dating back to bygone years and is situated rather close to the dam wall. Here you can relax and enjoy tea and scones or the customary mug of coffee with the genuine traditional 'melktert' or 'boerebeskuit' made according the family recipe handed down by 'Tan Malie' herself.
You can select your desired cut of meat and have a braai in the garden on one of the terraces where the glowing coals will be delivered to your exclusive braai facility right next to your table. The fires are lit and stoked for you, so just turn up, choose your vleis, braai it to your liking and help yourself to lekker stywe (stiff) pap and sauce and a choice of salads. You will get pap, sauce and salads and sosaties, steaks and wors. Leave space for dessert and try Tan Malie se malvalekker tert (marshmallow tart) – it’s delicious.
This fine shop boasts quite a variety of novel products ranging from pottery and handcrafts to a wide range of memorable souvenirs.
